Asbestos removal near Clare Market
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. From outbuildings with cement roofs and floor tiles before a new floor, we deal with water tanks, flue pipes and cement roof sheets and more.
In areas like Clare Market, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

What’s included, and what isn’t
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Making good is normally a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Bitumen roof felt
- Flue pipes
- Soffits (cement)

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Clare Market
Do you cover Clare Market and the area around London Charing Cross station?
Yes. London Charing Cross station is about 0.6 miles south-west of Clare Market, and we cover both.
Do you work in Clare Market despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
